ABSTRACT Introduction: hepatoblastoma is the most common liver tumor in childhood, its survival currently exceeds 70 %. The main prognostic factor is the clinical stage. Objective: to describe the clinical-epidemiological factors of childhood hepatoblastoma, the main primary malignant tumor of the liver in children. Methods: to carry it out, 30 scientific articles on the topic were consulted, obtained from the databases PubMed, Medline, Scielo and Google Scholar, and 27 were used as bibliographies, articles published during the last five years and others predominated due to their relevance. Development: a hepatoblastoma is a rare tumor that grows from liver cells. It is the most common liver cancer in childhood, occurring during the first 18 months of life (from infants to five years of age), mostly in white, male children born prematurely with low birth weight. Conclusions: the most important prognostic factor for survival of patients with hepatoblastoma is total surgical resection. Secondly, the presence of metastatic disease at diagnosis, although this factor has been modified by treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The third factor is histology, where the fetal variety has a better prognosis.
